Just purchased all the licenses and flashed my car straight to stage 3. Decided to go all the way instead of trying stage 1 or 2 first since I'm pushing pretty a significant amount of torque through the DCT (520 ft/lbs). Wow what a difference... This seems to have corrected gripes I had with the tans even when the car was stock, primarily lower speed/throttle shifts coming to and accelerating from a stop. WOT shifts also feel very firm now. Before the DCT at times would be very spongy, but seemingly normal at other times. It now has a consistent near instant strong upshift on WOT. I'm very pleased with this and can't wait to tweak the map and see what else XHP has up their sleeves.

I have to agree with this. Very annoying flashing process. I also had the codes, and upon first startup could not clear them, and also my shifter was completely dead. Restarted the car, shifter was now back, and was able to clear the codes. Upon first drive though, downshifts when in manual mode caused a 3 second rev hang, and then a jolt when the car finally decided to downshift. Pulled into a nearby parking lot, restarted the car, and all was well. Proceeded on a spirited drive with no issues.
After the flash I would recommend starting the car once, turning it off, then ignition on to clear codes, then restart the car another 2 times. It seems that it needs to go through a couple ignition cycles to work out issues, or at least it did in my case.
